• AI for Web Devs: Deploying Your AI App to Production

  One thing you will need to do for yourself is buy the domain name. There are lots of good places. I’ve been a fan of Porkbun and Namesilo. I don’t think there’s a huge difference for which registrar you use, but I like these because they offer WHOIS privacy and email forwarding at no extra charge on top of their already low prices. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Tell HN: GoDaddy Stole My Domain

  One domain I have had for over 20 years was originally purchased with GoDaddy. I then transferred to Google Domains when that opened up for supposedly better integration with Google Workspace. Now Google Domains is closing up and transferring to Squarespace but I just received an email that they do not support Dynamic DNS (DDNS) so now I'm looking to transfer my domain again. I was thinking about going back to... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Cheap domain?

  Check porkbun.com, namesilo.com, then namecheap.com. They offer most but not all TLDs but each offers a few the other doesn't. There are some that none of them offer so you can try GoDaddy but they're pricey. Those three are among your best bets for long term low pricing. Source: 5 months ago

• $3M p/month for Anguilla for .ai domains

  218,691 registered domains. [1] $3M/month. M as in million, not mille [2]? Mille is still commonly used in accounting [3] $36M/year is $164.61 per registered domain per year. Porkbun [4] offer .ai $72.40/year. Even 3 letter domains don't seem to have premium pricing. Something in this unsourced tweet, literally, doesn't add up.

• What you need to know about leaving Google Domains

  BEST*: https://porkbun.com/ Personal opinion, this company was also new to me but a favorite to many others. This is also the second cheapest option at only a few cents more expensive than spaceship. They are known for having good support. Https://tld-list.com/registrars/porkbun/tlds. Source: 10 months ago

• Retaining Gmail accounts if I transfer domain to Cloudflare

  Just so you know, I also just switched all my accounts away when I heard. I was going to go to Cloudflare, but they have 0 support for their registrar business, and I have read a few horror stories about issues with it. Seems like most other stuff they do is ok, but not domains. I ended up going with porkbun.com I was leery because of the name, but they have a good reputation and are on the lower side of pricing....

• I found a new hobby

  I got my first domain from Wix as I created a few things with it, but got exhausted with UI being sluggish and so on. After that, I fell for https://porkbun.com/ adorable designs after that moved my previous domains to Porkbun and never had any problems with them. Like others have said Cloudflare is awesome.

• Google Domains sold to SquareSpace

  Switched my domain to PorkBun and my cost actually is less now, under $10. Still annoying though, I was a customer for nearly 10 years. Google makes no sense lately. At least this new one seems to be recommended by techies on twitter and it didn’t immediately upsell me to get other shit. Took like 30 minutes to move my site and get my custom DNS records ported over. Source: 11 months ago

• Squarespace acquires Google Domains

  I've been super happy with porkbun for domains so far. Their account security and Whois privacy are perfectly fine, and the domains I've bought from them were cheap enough that I went with 10 year leases right off the bat. Source: 11 months ago

• I don't know how to code or how coding works. But want to use a source code to put on my website.

  Hello, I recently came upon a github repository, (https://github.com/zurlyy/zurly.lol) and went on to his website (zurly.lol). It is a very neat and organized biolink. I bought a domain on porkbun.com, (quinn.lol) and downloaded the source code to hopefully just change some text, music, and gifs/pictures. Figured it would be easy and there would surely be tutorials on this, but I cant seem to find any. Can anyone... Source: 11 months ago

• Currently a Host Gator customer with DISASTROUS results, need a recommendation of HONEST hosting company to switch to.

  Porkbun, cannot recommend them highly enough. Primarily a domain name registrar but their hosting offerings are cheap af and simple to get going whenever I’ve used them. Their prices are fair, they haven’t pulled any of the scummy crap i’ve had others do in the past. Source: 11 months ago

• 7 domains with one dedicated cpanel hosting bewteen them. All on Godaddy for years. I'd like to transfer them all to a new, competent, host but don't know who? We currently pay £158.11/year for the hosting, and between £20-30 per domain

  I'd also recommend you keep your domains separate to your webhosting. https://porkbun.com/ is a premium and recommended registrar, and will likely save you 50%+ on renewals of your domains than at GoDaddy. Source: about 1 year ago

• Domain Registrar Recommendations

  I'm surprised no-one has mentioned porkbun.com I've been using them for years for personal and corporate DNS for various employers. They have the best pricing and are completely transparent about it. Their interface is simple, they support yubikeys which is a requirement for me, and they take cards, paypal, apple pay and crypto. It's the most open-source feeling registrar I've ever used. Source: about 1 year ago
